Midnight Resistance

Strap on your big guns, chums, it's time to wrap a girlie bow in your hair and pretend to be Rambo. Midnight Resistance is an excellent shootie. The graphics suffer from a serious case of Spectrumitis, but this doesn't detract from the action at all.

There are a lot (and we mean a lot) of foes involved, and you'll really need your wits - as well as your machine gun - about you. Enemy gunners often get a shot in at you within seconds of them scrolling on to the screen (before you've even registered their presence) so a lot of practice and a good memory is the way to succeed.

As well as other foot soldiers, there are tanks, copters and all sorts of other serious hardware around, and everything has got the same mission: kill the reckless geek with the girlie bow in his hair.

Midnight Resistance is a shoot-'em-up as shoot-'em-ups should be. Action-packed, challenging and with enough reliance on tactics and brainpower to set it above the rest of the herd. We recommend you invest four quid in this game, you'll n'ae regret it.
